It is a form of depression. Like one minute you can be super happy go lucky and the next minute you can be suicidal. Its kinda hard to explain. Just that your mood changes fast.

I am Bipolar. In short, it is a form of depression that involves dramatic and uncontrollable mood swings. I can be intensely happy and perky and upbeat one minute and the next minute I can be upset, angry, crying and suicidal.

its a form of depression... the people with its mood change very drasticly
they are either reallly happy or really sad or mad
but when their happy the world lights up

Its a medical problem. You have serious mood swings. you can be very happy one minute, but if you get frustrated you could freak out screaming, and then go to being happy again. My English teacher has it.

It's a mental illness that causes a person to cycle from one extreme to the next and unless medicated it can cause some serious problems for the individual.

When a bipolar person is happy, they are extremely happy and often make poor choices and do things that just aren't "normal". They might go on shopping sprees and spend way over what they can afford. They can decide they are taking a vacation or move without any thought to planning. They might engage in risky behavior such as drug experimetation, performing sexual acts. When they feel sad, they become very very withdrawn and depressed. They feel as though their life is not living. They may not get out of bed, eat, stop going to work. Many people with bipolar who are not being treated attempt suicide during these periods.

I am Bi- polar. is 's when you are overly happy at times but then to to being very sad and depressed within moments. it's kinda hard to explain but it's like going from one extreme to the other in no time. the littlest thing will set me off. I am supposed to be on an antidepressant but those are not safe when you are pregnant so my doctor took me off and I never went back on after I had my baby. I honestly believe it gets easier to cope with this disease the older you get, mine has at least.

It's like my old Science Teacher,one minute Yaaaa,everyone have cupcakes,The next minute he screams at a student,Get in the corner! You wanna argue with me!" I saw his mouth twitch right before he goes irrate.It was kinda funny! He went off on everyone.
